In the las few weeks I have read many descriptions about this tablet, many of them from sellers in china or Hong Kong. I was however with many doubts, but still decided to take a risk and bought one. I received it this morning. I can confirm that has no HDMI port. The retina display is fantastic. The overall operation is positive but need more time to continue testing. The build quality is truly impressive (it is metal, not plastic).
Now i just need some instructions how to root (if anyone wants to help me ...
If you want to know more just ask.

Bought mine to someone in ###########. Paid £235.00 and i did not paid any custom taxes, so in the end i think it was a fair price, especially for the quality of this tablet. I'm really happy with it. And it was delivered in just 3 days!!

My own Retina tablet has arrived to my home already, but I am away from my home myself and will not be able to test it soon.

Yes, followed this guide two days ago and it worked. But i'm not able to instal "SuperSu" or "BusyBox". Installed "Quick Boot" but doesn't work. "SuperUser" seems to work fine. Now any one one knows any good alternative to "Quik Boot"?

Hello.I am from germany and have bought this Chuwi V99 tablet and also try to root it, but if i activate the debugging option and connect it to my windows 8 pc, the driver cannot be installed, (moborobo and ZuoDashi did not recognize it). Can anyone please help me?

How is the tablet with high Def video? Does it stutter or drop frames while playing video? Have you compared it to the Ipad3's display? Is the dpi as stated? Do you feel the RK3066 is up to the task... with multiple apps running? thanks

Ok, this is the first thing to know: this is not a F1 machine...but is very good, bether than tegra 2.Second: you can switch (in Dysplay settings) betwen HD mode and SD mode. In my opinion it will run faster in SD mode and you will not notice any big difference. The display quality is very good. You can see very well a 720p movie or even a 1080p movie with no problem.SD mode will have 1600x1200 resolution. This is a lot more than a regular Tablet android and much more than Ipad2.Third: I also have an Ipad 3 64GB 4G, and i can say you it is disconected in my homme since i have this Chuwi V99.Hope this can help you.

Thank you for your help.The download link does not exist, but i have tried these android usb drivers from elsewhere.all my pcs at home are now running with windows 8, so i think i have to try another option._If i can try it on win 7 or xp i will let you know if that worked.

I also think it is a great tablet. But i have noticed if it is connected to the acdc device, the display will not react correct on touching, means if i press anywhere it recognizes mulitple touches and so it cannot be used since charging.First i thought it was a failure so i resetted the device 3 times to original state, but than i saw it happens only while charging.(Sorry for my english, it is not very good!).Can anyone confirm this?Thank you.

From what I've read the RK3066 doesn't officially support the high resolution display. As you mentioned, you notice a performance difference between SD and HD mode. But can you tell me where you specifically notice the difference? Is it just in games, or do you also notice it in the GUI or during webbrowsing?I'm still waiting for my similar Yuandao/Windows/Vido N90 FHD

i dunno bout u, but my yuandao n90 fhd is pretty good handling such resolution.. since both of these have the same specs, im sure it is pretty much the same. im good with the sd mode as u wont notice much difference between sd n hd mode.. casual games is awesome.. i think gaming performance is pretty good.. it is laggy sometimes.. i just kill apps then works like charm again.. im sure updated firmware will be able to solve laggy issue.. im commenting this based on my experience with yuandao n90 fhd as it has the same specs with chuwi v99..

OK, i made this step by step tutorial for noobs. Please take it and make it better!

From step 15 onwards, it is about flashing via CWM.

Before you flash:

Safe everything, that you might want to keep off the tablets memory onto your micro SD-card i.e.. The Memory of the tablet will be totally erased during flashing. Again: There is no "safe space" inside the RAM of the tablet. Everything will be erased.

Flash at your own risk. No one else but you is responsible for any damage that might occur.

Step 9: While holding the two buttons down, insert the charger-cable-plug into the charger hole of the tablet.

Step10: Watch the RKAT-window on your PC-screen, until the message on the bottom turns from "No Found RKAndroid rock usb" to "Found RKAndroid rock usb".

Step11: Release both buttons. You are now in flash mode of the tablet.

Step12: Click on the button in the RKAT-Window that says "Erase NAND(IDB)". See the count in the status-window goes all the way through.

Step13: When successfully erased NAND, click button "Flash ROM" and see the count in the status-window goes all the way through.

Step14: Congrats, you have flashed the custom Rom and CWM-recovery via several imgs with RKAT. If you don not need to flash a CWM-custom-ROM, you can start using your tablet now.

Step15: If you want to flash a CWM-custom-ROM with CWM now, you have to start your tablet now by pressing 4-5 long secs on the power button until you see a boot-picture.

Step16: When booted completely, do not install anything, not even your gmail-account, because all those input will get lost while flashing the CWM-custom-rom. Go to Settings, Display and switch to HD-mode (so you can enjoy HD mode after CWM-flashing CWM-custom-ROM). Proceed with rebooting the device when asked.

Step17: On your PC or tablet: Mount a micro-SD-card and put CWM-flashable ROM (.zip) and TerminalEmulator.apk on micro-SD-card.

Step18: Insert the micro-SD-card with the files from step 16 into the tablet.

Step20: Re-asure, that the system is rooted by launching eiter the app "SuperSU" or "Superuser" on your tablet and achieve Superuser-rights on the tablet.

Step21: Launch the app "TermainalEmulator" and type "su" followed by pressing the return key or enter. If a line appears, that the command is not possible, something with the superuser-rights is not OK.

Step22: If everything before went well, a window "Superuser" or "SuperSU" will appear. Grant the Superuser functionality by hitting "OK" or "Grant".

Step23: Still in TermainalEmulator, type "reboot recovery". The tablet will immediately shut down and restart in CWM-recovery-mode. That looks weired, but it serves it's purpose.

Step24: In CWM-recovery, press "Vol +" several times until you land on "install zip". Press the power button one time.

Step25: Press "Vol +" several times until you land on "install zip from ext.SD". Press the power button one time.

Step26: Press "Vol +" several times until you land on the CWM-zip-file, that you want to flash. Press the power button one time.

Step27: In the same way, you chose in Step25 and Step26, do the so calles "three wipes": "wipe data/factory reset", then "wipe cache partition", then "advanced", "wipe davlik cache".

Step28: In the same way, you chose in Step25 to Step27, go back and chose "reboot system now".

Step29: Maybe you have to format the internal SD-RAM by going to settings,memory,mount SD-card,format,OK.

Step30: Your system is now ready for further modifications. Enjoy.

This tut is under heavy development... i will continue to add pics and notes. Please comment and help me complete it.
